LFN 5G Cloud Native Network Demo/POC 2021
From Last time:
FlexRAN + Altran RAN + OpenShift Containers Update (Hanen/Rajat/Sam)
Faraday cage built and ready. Containerization work taking a long time. Option for a work around might be to do a PNF for now (if containerization/orchestration can't be fixed). Hanen/Rajat/Sam to provide an update.
5G Radio Update (Sriram V)
Radio from GenxComm will be packaged up and shipped to Montreal soon.
Heating issue in radio fixed, waiting for the new radio to be shipped (likely end of this month). Once received in US, needs to be shipped to Montreal. Customs with Canada is usually pretty quick.
E2E 5G Slicing Update (Sriram R)
From Sriram:
We have accomplished the first task of linking ONAP slicing flow to Altran 5GC (New Slice creation and activation). We still need to test the new slice configuration (using UE/gnb simulator), and we are in the process of doing this (using Altran's simulator tool).
We were also told that the UNH lab is now connected to the lab in Montreal, so we can start moving to this.
The server reservation is extended through the end of July.
The subsequent tasks (probably can be done in parallel if there is bandwidth):
1. Test the new slices using UE/gnb simulator (in progress)
2. Test Altran 5GC deployment in Montreal lab (make sure we can accomplish the same thing we did locally in UNH servers)
3. Integration with Kaloom UPF
4. Depending on the community's decision, switch to Rebaca's ABoT simulator
